We can rebuild the confidence of Nigerians by winning Edo poll, says Lagos PDP chair

Segun Adewale, Lagos state chairman of a faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), says his party would win the confidence of Nigerians by emerging victorious in Saturday’s governorship election in Edo state.

Adewale, who said the PDP remains the only alternative to the “hardship” experienced by Nigerians, advised the two factions to bury their grievances and work together for a common goal.

“It is time we learn from our past mistakes and forge a common front to ensure total victory for the party in all the coming polls starting from the Edo state gubernatorial elections on Saturday, September 10,” he said in a statement.

“This will indeed start to rebuild the confidence of Nigerians towards forming a new PDP led national government in 2019.

“There is absolutely no need to transfer our internal disagreements to the helpless masses.

“We would all agree that Together We Achieve More. In this vain, I advise that we must ensure both Senators Ali Modu Sheriff and Ahmed Markafi support whoever INEC tentatively recognises as our candidates and at the appropriate time resolve all grievances‎ including who is the authentic flagbearer at the law courts after our great party must have won both Edo and Ondo states.”
